Chapter 229: Fighting (Part II)
Perhaps the success of "Hero" stimulated domestic directors, and now domestic confident directors are starting to make blockbusters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info What is a blockbuster, maybe in the hearts of these directors who follow the trend, with a large investment, a strong lineup, good special effects, and a director with his own reputation, he can make a blockbuster. So there was Chen Kaige's "Wuji" first, and then Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet". And Zhang Yimou's new film "The City Full of Golden Armor" is also about to be released.
Maybe Feng Xiaogang never thought about whether he, a director who is famous for comedy, can control this type of movie, and all he thinks about now is that "Night Banquet" is a big hit, and by the way, he can win a few awards, and the super line no longer seems to be so unattainable.
"Brother Feng, what do you think, what do you think of this movie?" In the critic's seat, a man with glasses asked the tall and thin man next to him in a low voice.
Brother Feng, a tall and thin man, frowned badly at this time, shook his head when he heard this, and said softly: "I had this kind of worry before I came, whether Feng Xiaogang could control this kind of epic masterpiece, but now it seems that he really can't." ”
"I feel like he didn't even tell the most basic story, let alone express something deeper." The man with glasses said.
"Yes, he used to be the best at storytelling, but I didn't expect this work to tell a joke." As a well-known film critic in China, Brother Feng has no scruples when he speaks, good is good, bad is bad, even if Feng Xiaogang is in person, he will say so. Now he regrets it a little in his heart, if he knew this, it would be better to go to the premiere of "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes". At least commercial films don't look that boring, do they.
"It seems that Feng Xiaogang is going to be slapped in the face by Gu Wenwu this time, 400 million, hehe......"
……
The screening of "Night Banquet" is coming to an end, and here "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes" has finally begun. It is the first time to face so many audiences, including professional and non-professional, friendly and hostile, it depends on whether this movie can conquer everyone.
The excitement of detective films has always been reflected through confusing cases, and Gu Wenwu, who has "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" as a reference, is naturally very exciting in the cases that were selected. Because of the continuous explosions, Fu Mo must solve the puzzle given by the man behind the scenes within the specified time, which is a great challenge for Fu Mo, and it is also a fierce competition. The showdown between two amazing and talented characters is the biggest highlight of this movie. As Fu Mo said to Watson in the movie: "Watson, it's on." ”
Watson: "What started. ”
"The game, it's the game that begins."
Often the audience has not yet been freed from the previous case, and a new challenge begins. The climax came one after another, making people reluctant to blink their eyes while shouting wonderful, for fear of missing a certain detail, and when Fu Mo revealed the mystery, he was at a loss.
The audience didn't have time to talk, and the critics talked a lot, and some reporters asked the opinions of the film critics who knew each other before and behind them, hoping to get some material from them to write a manuscript later.
"Brother Qi, what do you think?" A stocky reporter asked a middle-aged man with his hair combed on his back. Qi Ge is a well-known film critic in the circle, and he is also a columnist for their newspaper, and the two have a good relationship.
"Gu Wenwu has made great progress." Brother Qi said with emotion.
"Yes, why can't I see it?" The reporter said suspiciously.
"I also participated in the premiere of the last "Great Detective", "The Great Detective" is naturally wonderful, but the shortcomings still exist, for example, the great director's use of color is not so perfect, and the grasp and transformation of the plot are still a little jerky and stiff, but in this "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes", I almost didn't see any lack of ability, which is too scary, you must know that he is only in his twenties, and he actually has this foundation, if it is a few years later, it will be repaid." Although he knew that such a whisper in the theater would affect others, Qi Ge still couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart.
has been a film critic for so many years, and he has seen too many directors, I don't know how many good and bad movies he has seen, but it is the first time I have seen a director who has grown so quickly. Coupled with the Wenwu studio he created, which is already well-known in the industry, Brother Qi can't imagine what kind of position Gu Wenwu will reach, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, or Li case? Maybe higher.
"Brother Qi, are you exalting Gu Wenwu too much, maybe he will plant a big heel this time, Feng Xiaogang is not so easy to get along with." Humpty Dumpty reporter said.
"I don't know what the situation of "Night Banquet" is, but if you look at the reaction of these audiences at the scene, it is unlikely that they will be wronged." Chigo Road.
……
In the midst of applause, the screening of "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes" was completed, and the applause and applause of the audience was the best answer. In the smiles of Gu Wenwu and the main creators, this premiere ended successfully.
"Xiao Gu, I may be absent from the next publicity." After the premiere, Cheng Daoming backstage suddenly said such things to Gu Wenwu.
"Well, Mr. Cheng, can you tell me the reason, after all, you also know that without you, the publicity may be much smaller." It's not that there is no need for publicity after it is released, especially when the opponent is so strong, it is even more necessary for Cheng Daoming to come to the town.
"It's not a secret, the news should be released soon, that is, I was invited to be a judge of this Xia Long Award and participate in the selection work, Director Zhang Yimou has already called me, you also know that the selection process of the Xia Long Award is closed to the outside world, so the promotion of the film has to rely on you." Cheng Daoming said.
"Charon Award?" Gu Wenwu's expression became solemn, he didn't expect that because of this, as the highest film award in China, it also represents the highest film level in China, and Cheng Daoming has not been a judge once or twice.
"That's right, it's the Xia Long Award, this time you have a lot of hope." Cheng Daoming said.
Gu Wenwu has made commercial films before, no matter how good the box office is, there is no possibility of being infected with the Xia Long Award. But last year he made a literary film called "Fireworks in the Day", and he also won the grand prize in Venice, which is different. Just like Li Case won the honorary director of the Star Review Association in one fell swoop with the power of the Oscar, "Fireworks in the Day", which won the best film at the Venice Film Festival, should be able to win an award somewhat.
